Summarizes quantities of interest
---------------------------------

   ^sumqi^ varname1 [varname2 varname3...] [^if^ exp] [^in^ range], ^l^evel^(^#^)^

     
Description
-----------

^sumqi^ summarizes quantities of interest that have been stored as variables
in memory.  The command reports the mean, standard deviation, and a confidence
interval for the simulated quantities of interest.


Options
-------

^l^evel^(^#^)^ specifies the confidence level, in percent, for confidence
   intervals.  The default is ^level(95)^ or the value set by ^set l^evel.  For
   more information on ^set l^evel, see the on-line help for @level@.


Example
-------

To obtain the mean, standard deviation, and a 90% confidence interval for
a variable called myvar, type

   . ^sumqi myvar, level(90)^

To get 80% confidence intervals for myvar1, myvar2, and myvar3, type

   . ^sumqi myvar1 myvar2 myvar3, level(80)^
